Inventory of the institution’s sustainability research:
This list formed the base of our research inventory: https://sustainability.asu.edu/people/
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
ASU’s Global Institute of Sustainability (GIOS) continuously curates a Sustainability Scientists membership of various researchers across our entire organization. These researchers consist of faculty, staff, postdoctoral appointments, as well as the occasional graduate student. Membership involves participation in various GIOS activities as well as research that at least in part contributes to our planet’s sustainability development and progress. For the AASHE survey, we used this group as the inventory group. A scientist was only counted if officially recognized on a sponsored project.
The Sustainability Scientists list was supplemented with additional manual review to identify additional faculty contributing to sustainability research. This list was also reviewed to remove faculty that we were not able to identify recent research in sustainability.
ASU's faculty are often affiliated with multiple departments or centers. As part of this methodology, faculty were listed with the academic department that appeared to be their primary appointment.

Represents FY19 research
Notes regarding the number of departments reported for AC-1, Academic Courses and AC-9, Research and Scholarship:
Academic departments are defined in varying ways across ASU to encourage trans-disciplinary research.
For the purposes of AC-1 and AC-9, departments were determined using two criteria:
(1) If they are the academic sub-division of a "school" or "college" headed by a dean. Note that not all divisions headed by a dean have further subdivisions and that some "schools" or "colleges" are not headed by a dean (and are thus counted as departments).
(2) If they are listed as "departments" as they are defined in this list of instructional faculty: https://catalog.asu.edu/faculty_list
